The First St. Ives Cheveau-Légers were raised on St. Ives and served the Capellan Confederation Armed Forces with distinction.
Contents
History[edit]
The St. Ives Cheveau-Légers were formed shortly after the formation of the Capellan Confederation as a force that could be deployed outside of the St. Ives Commonality. By 2765, they held the distinction of participating in every conflict fought by the CCAF, and fighting against every state surrounding the Confederation. They were the garrison of Hurgh in 2765.[1]
They first saw combat against the Free Worlds League on Lopez. They fought the Defenders of Andurien between 2366 and 2368. Though forced off Lopez the Cheveau-Légers raided Mansu-ri and Dalton two years later, embarrassing the Marik defenders. They also defended Vanra against Marik raiders in 2450. The Legers then drove the Syrtis Fusiliers off Ogilvie in 2790. Between 2808 and 2816 they raided the Free Worlds League systems of Nova Roma, Holt, and Sorunda.
The Legers were surprised by a Federated Suns mercenary unit on Indicass in 2905. The Cheveau-Légers responded by raiding a Syrtis Fusiliers camp three years later, capturing a Leopard-class DropShip and several 'Mechs. The Fusiliers responded by trapping the unit on Royalston in 2915. In the course of a two day engagement, the Armed Forces of the Federated Suns unit inflicted huge casualties on the unit, forcing them to spend the next eighteen years rebuilding.
In 2944, the Legers air lances were defending Daniels when they came under attack by Corey's Cavaliers.[2]
The Cheveau-Légers were assigned to garrison Weekapaug and baited the AFFS forces stationed nearby, inviting them to try to take the world away from the CCAF. The Syrtis Fusiliers took the bait in 2950, and the two units spent the next three weeks engaged in a brutal slugfest. Between 2960 and the Fourth Succession War, the Cheveau-Légers spent most of their time rotating between agricultural planets in the St. Ives Commonality.[3]
In the Fourth Succession War the unit didn't see any action and later defected to the newly formed St. Ives Compact.
Operation Bulldog[edit]
During Operation Bulldog the St. Ives Cheveau-Légers joined with the Eighth Dieron Regulars, First Canopian Cuirassiers, and Eleventh Alshain Avengers to defend Meinacos from the Smoke Jaguar's 267th Battle Cluster. The Eighth Dieron drove into the 267th Cluster's flank, while the Eleventh Alshain distracted them and the Canopian Cuirassiers cut off the Clan unit's retreat.[4]
Xin Sheng[edit]
After fighting against the Clans, the unit returned just in time for the opening battles of the Capellan-St. Ives War. After two years of fighting there was not enough left to rebuild the unit, so the survivors were distributed among the St. Ives Armored Cavalry to make up for battle losses elsewhere.[5]
